The Women's League of the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee was formed in 1929. It was also known as the Women's League of the Milwaukee Extension Division. Membership was open to current and retired female faculty and staff; to mothers, sisters and other near relatives of unmarried male faculty and staff; and to the wives of current, retired, or deceased faculty and staff. In 1956 the league merged with the Faculty Wives' Club and the Faculty Women's Club of Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee. It then became known as the Women's League of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The collection documents the social and charitable activities of the Women's League, concentrating particularly on the mid-1940s through the league's merger with its sister women's leagues and its name change in 1956. Social notices chronicle the league's social activities for the last 12 years of its existence, and a decade's worth of minutes detail the general operations of the league from 1946 to 1956.
